Is Katie Price trying to outdo Emily MacDonagh with her latest bizarre career move?

She’s turned her hand to anything from glamour modelling to some failed warbling at the Eurovision song contest. But just when we thought we’d seen the last twist and turn in Katie Price’s bizarre career path the 39-year-old throws a shock announcement into the mix!

And this time she’s training for a role that we can’t snigger at. Opening up to Heat magazine the mum-of-five revealed that she had been training to be a nurse before the bright lights of celebdom caught her eye.

But rather than leave her dreams of a career in medicine behind her, the mum-of-five has decided to pick up where she left off.

“I’m training to be a paramedic. Yes, I am. It’s a five-year course and you can work and do it at the same time. I had started training to be a nurse when I left school and I love all that kind of stuff. I start the course soon.”

Katie Price trying to outdo Emily MacDonagh?

Hmmm. We wonder if Emily MacDonagh’s thriving career as a junior doctor may have acted as inspiration? Either way we’re sure things would be completely professional should the pair have a hospital corridor run-in once the reality star is fully qualified…
